The first race of the season always delivers heightened excitement; has the hard work done during the cold and dark winter been worthwhile? 

Challenge lived up to its name on this occasion, yet Eleanor Haresign kept it together and made the top 10 in her first professional race whilst flying the flag for Great Britain in the European middle distance championships. 

Chris Standidge races to an impressive 5th place in his age group. 

TORQ’s Fuelling System is featured in a full page feature in Cycling Plus this month. 

After the first rounds of the Midlands XC, the team have been racing their socks off attending events all over the country. 

Today has been the final day of the inaugural TORQ Enduro Challenge (in association with Bryton GPS) with TORQ team rider Lydia Gould. 

  I joined Lydia for the first 2 hours of her journey today on the TORQ Enduro Challenge (in association with Bryton GPS) and then retraced my steps and popped into Singletrack Magazine’s HQ in Todmorden for a fine black Americano, courtesy of Chipps Chippendale. 

Finally the day’s report for the TORQ Enduro Challenge (in association with Bryton) is actually being published on the day of the respective stage. 

On Day 2 of the TORQ Enduro Challenge (in association with Bryton GPS), Lydia stormed from Cannock Chase in Staffordshire to Glossop in north Derbyshire and remarkably escaped the worst of the weather. 

On the first day of the TORQ Enduro Challenge (in association with Bryton GPS), Lydia waves goodbye to TORQ HQ and amazingly makes it to Birches Valley MTB centre at Cannock Chase. 

In partnership with Bryton GPS, TORQ have put together an endurance challenge for Mountain Bikers that we hope will inspire many.
